+Jake39 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 This is a monument of 'KING DAVID KALAKAUA' the last 'King of Hawai'i.His monument can be found in Hilo on the 'Big Island of Hawai'i' I found this statue while 'Benchmark' hunting in Hilo... TU0033 ............. and also listed on 'Benchmark Page'------------TU0034... Can't find this as a category proposal. This was previously a 'Monarch of the Americas' L.C. but I would like to see it listed for the whole world. 'NO DICTATORS' allowed !!! Link to comment

+Team GeoDuo Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Great Idea. How about Birth places too? Link to comment
+chstress53 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I think Monarchs of the world would be a great addition to Waymarking. I like your variables. Link to comment
+The Blue Quasar Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I'm waiting for this one too.... I've already got a great Monarch recorded and waiting for the Green Light The Blue Quasar Link to comment
+The Blue Quasar Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) Here is my image that I would WAYMARK... if I only could. Queen Victoria - Ruler of the British Empire! Available for Group Officer in this Category Proposal! The Blue Quasar Edited March 31, 2006 by The Blue Quasar Link to comment
+The Blue Quasar Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I'd even go so far as to say that I would head up this Category if Jake39 cannot, due to his over-budgeting ways But seriously... I love this idea... and if people give the go ahead, I'll form a Group for it! The Blue Quasar Link to comment
+Jake39 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 Go for it !!! - Loved that category too.......sniff - sniff -- Link to comment
+The Blue Quasar Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I will work on this Category Proposal over the weekend... I assume that Jake39 will be an Officer! The Blue Quasar Link to comment
+The Blue Quasar Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) GROUP has been created. Looking for interested members. So far the following have been invited: Ambrosia, Jake39, The Leprechauns. (none have accepted thus far, just sent the invites a minute ago) Plenty of room for more..... reply here or email me through my profile! Here is the Monarch Rankings that will be used 1. Emperor / Empress 2. King /Queen 3. Grand Duke or Prince / Grand Duchess or Princess 4. Arch Duke / Arch Duchess 5. Prince / Princess 6. Duke / Duchess 7. Marquess / Marchioness 8. Earl or Count / Countess 9. Viscount/ Viscountess 10. Baron / Baroness or Baronet / Baronetess or Knight This levels determined from this site Royal and Noble Ranks. And this site lists the other variations used across Europe. Items to be added.... Waymark Owner - Must provide the following Photo with GPS of the Statue Photo without GPS of the Statue Land(s) of influence Rank and name Web link to related history Waymark Visitor - Must provide a photo at the Statue Now, obviously non-English lands will not have used the same titles as English lands, so the Rank and Name would use the indigenous rank (i.e. Marquis de Sade of France - not Marquess) All Waymarks must be of actual Monarchs, not "King Kong" even though the name would qualify.

I'd consider adding to the above: -- Tsar/Tsarina -- Sultan/Sultaness -- Raja/Rani It also seems to me that requiring a photo with GPSr is a needless requirement. I just don't see the rationale for it in creating a waymark. Possibly for logging a visit, but even there I'm not a huge fan of it. My real question, though, is, "What are we Waymarking?" Memorials, Graves, Birthplaces, Statues, Residences, anything related to a monarch? Good work! ~~silverquill Link to comment
+The Blue Quasar Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I think we are going to keep it at Statues/Monuments. There should be either a full body, or at least a head / bust of the Monarch. Other groups can do the Memorials, Graves, Birthplaces, Residences... as this would be too much data. As for the various titles, like Raja... I'm all for it, as long as there is some form of established comparison. The site I listed was for Europe, but I'm sure we could find the same for Middle East, and Orient. I have always been torn on the whole "GPS in the photo" thing... if you can suggest another item that they could hold to make it valid, I'm all ears. I'm just trying to find a way to avoid the whole Internet image or Streets and Trips/ Google Earth coordinate game... for Owners, and the holiday photo for Visitors. Something has to set the image apart from the standard, could be faked photo. The Blue Quasar Link to comment

There are 3 women rulers of ancient egypt, and they were referred to as Queens since "Pharaoh" was a male title. Link to comment
+The Blue Quasar Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Will definitely allow variations on Title, provided that the Titles are equivalent to a Monarchy counterpart. The Blue Quasar Link to comment

There are 3 women rulers of ancient egypt, and they were referred to as Queens since "Pharaoh" was a male title. I had to speak lol... Hatshepsut was Pharoah and queen. There are some like Smenkare who could have been female (Pharoah Smenkare may have been the famous Nefertiti actually) although no one knows for sure who Smenkare was..... ok, end of useless trivia no one but me cares about lol.

Something has to set the image apart from the standard, could be faked photo. The Blue Quasar As far as Im concerned, the gps is just an object you hold in the photos. If someone wants to hold up a newspaper of todays headlines, or use an identifying trinket (like a gnome or stuffed dinosaur) in all of their photos, I could live with that in my waymarks. For that matter, make a construction paper cut out of a large red circle and use that in all of your photos. Something non standard that would seperate it from the old vacation photos. Maybe players without a gps can have mascots that they use in their photos. Im open to that on my waymarks. Link to comment

I think thats pretty interesting. I love history, and don't know so much about Ancient Egypt. And as for you post above, I agree. Edited April 10, 2006 by Dew Crew Link to comment
